Sanyo's 100 Favourite Albums of the 1980s





So anyway the 1980's??? I remember them very well and on the whole it was a pretty bleak time, terrible fashions, millions unemployed, social unrest, the constant threat of nuclear war and Pete Waterman.

However I along with many others who grew up in that decade do remember it with a nostalgic glow and although a lot of the music was on the cheesy side here is a 100 reasons why it certainly wasnt all that bad.
